Toronto earned the right to host the ALCS after taking out the Yankees in four games in the Division series. The Jays’ offense was ridiculous in the series scoring 34 runs in just those four games. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the catalyst against the Bronx Bombers hitting .529 (9-17) with three home runs and nine runs batted in the series.

The Seattle Mariners beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in the opening game of the American League Championship Series.

The "Big Dumper" pummeled the ball 420 feet to right field and tied the game at 1-1 in the sixth inning.
